Android Q will be called Android 10 saying goodbye to desserts: we review all the names of sweets you have used

Google has just announced what the final name of Android will be Q: Android 10. Yes, you're reading that right, Google seems to have gotten tired of looking for names of desserts to baptize the new versions of Android that it launches every year and with the arrival of the tenth version, has considered that it was the ideal moment.

Quiche, Quaker Oats, Quindim, Quinoa ... were some of the names that were being considered as possible names for the next version of Android. Google claims that the reason for this change is because they seek to make the brand as inclusive and accessible as possible, despite the fact that every year, Finding a name for the Android version was a lot of fun.

Also, the guys at Google have taken advantage of the ad to change the traditional logo that accompanies Android practically from the beginning and in which we could see Andy's head at the end of the name. Now, the representative Android robot places its head at the top of the name, that is, keeping the same color tone, but not the typography that is now a bit more stylized.

This new logo will begin to be used on a regular basis in the next few weeks, probably when the final version of Android 10 is released, a version that should not take long to officially launch on the market, and which has been in beta since last March.

According to Google in the article where it announced this change, some letters such as L and R do not differ in some languages ​​in addition to being very difficult to find a name every year that is universal.
